Bill Maher suffers from the same diesease as many of thoes pusedo-reformers. They believe that bad teachers are responsible for student underachievement. However, they ignore, family and peer issues, bad Administrators, overcrowded classrooms, and poor policy decisions. Further, they also assume that teachers removed from the classroom are truly incompetent or committed misconduct. If these pusedo-reformers actually INVESTIGATED THEY WOULD SEE THAT AGEISM, SALARY, AND PERSONALITY ISSUES ARE THE MAIN REASON THAT TEACHERS ARE REMOVED.

I have to agree with you. Amazing that Maher would say such a thing. One of his guests, though, offered an eloquent and thoughtful response. Wish I could remember the guy's name.

Mr. Talk said...

Chaz--if they ever came to a school, they might realize how hard teachers work and how effective we are under all circumstances.

NYC--the person you're referring to is Michael Eric Dyson, a professor of sociology from Georgetown. He seemed like a truly bright guy, and although he didn't get behind teachers 100%, at least he understood the importance of unionism for the middle class in this country. Bill Maher talked about how he fires 1 out of 6 of his writers every year, and he ended up sounding like that idiot Jack Welch, who trained principals to harass teachers and proposed cutting out 10% of teachers every year.

Now, joining Bill Orally, Rush Limpballs, and Man Coulter is Bile Mar. Mr. Mar will be headlining, along with his aforementioned colleagues, a symposium on how to blow edupropaganda out your ass.

JUSTICE not "just us" said...

They are entertainers and since entertainment in this country appeals to the lowest common dinaminator(spelling)why should it surprise that he is talking out of his ass?
